Thinking of those warm memories, Selina gently patted her own tear-stained face, then forced a smile to cheer herself up.
“Alright, alright, Selina, what’s with the moping? Today is going to be a nice day!”
She even raised her voice and optimistically sang a song as she walked in the rain.
“Walking through the wind and rain, this little pain is nothing!”
However, as if responding to the girl’s song, the originally sparse drizzle suddenly intensified, instantly turning into a downpour, like a column of water falling from the sky, striking her head-on and soaking the strong Miss Silver Dragon thoroughly.
Her silver hair was pressed down by the rain, sticking to her body, making it almost impossible for her to lift her head.
Her originally loose pajamas were now as heavy as lead, wet and heavy, tightly clinging to the girl’s petite body.
As the cold wind blew, Selina could only open her umbrella and curl up in a corner, shivering, listening to the sound of raindrops as big as beans crashing onto the ground.
“Huff… huff… Selar above—no, Selar, you’re deliberately picking on me alone, aren’t you!”
The little silver dragon complained wildly to the goddess Selar in the sky while helplessly rubbing her hands together.
The warm breath she exhaled quickly condensed into strands of ice crystals in the cold wind.
After a while, the indignant Miss Silver Dragon slowly calmed down and comforted herself again.
“Ah, forget it. This Selina-sama is magnanimous, I won’t bother with Lucia’s ancestor. But at this late hour, besides me, there are probably only wandering female ghosts floating around.”
Just as she was holding her umbrella, about to find a place to spend the night, Selina suddenly froze.
“No… Selar above, there really is one!”
Looking at the figure standing motionless in the pouring rain, head lowered.
Even though the night was deep and a heavy curtain of rain separated them.
Selina still, with her keen eyesight, saw the lingering melancholy aura that permeated the girl.
Her soaked ice-blue hair added a hazy beauty to her delicate face, like a half-hidden lute.
The white uniform, drenched by rain, clung to the girl’s curvaceous figure.
Her long, slender, and well-proportioned legs trembled slightly like lotus flowers in a storm.
As everyone knows, it’s very dangerous for a young girl to go out alone late at night.
So, with a “fellow sufferer” mindset, Selina slowly approached her to see if there was anything she could help with.
“Remember, you are a member of the Ruiersi family. We spent so much effort raising you; you must repay the family!”
“Your eyes are too noticeable. From today on, you must always wear the colored contacts I prepared for you!”
“What pain? If you weren’t still useful, I would have long since sent you, a disobedient tool, to be a slave. Remember, you must give birth to a child with the Kairui’er bloodline for His Majesty!”
“Useless thing! How dare you talk to me about rules? That Sera Academy has brainwashed you! You need to do nothing but obey!”
Youfei Ruiersi.
No, she should be called Youfei Kairui’er.
She had always loved the rain.
She loved the feeling of the cold rain wetting her cheeks and soaking her body.
Only at times like this could she let her tears flow together with the rain.
Washed by the clean rain, she felt truly alive.
As if she could decide her own fate, rather than being a puppet manipulated by countless threads of destiny.
Unfortunately.
From the moment she was born, no one had ever asked her why she liked the rain.
Nor would anyone gently hold an umbrella for her.
Suddenly.
Youfei felt something gently touch her waist.
She immediately turned her head alertly.
Her brilliant golden eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.
However, what came into view was not a spy sent by the Ruiersi family, nor an assassin coveting her bloodline.
Instead, it was a silver dragon girl holding an umbrella half a head taller than herself.
At that moment, she was hopping and struggling to raise the umbrella, seeming to want to shield Youfei from the rain.
“Hey, hey, you’re too tall. My umbrella can’t reach you!”
Although Selina-sama was super cute.
Unfortunately, her height was truly regrettable.
Facing Youfei, who was even taller than Lucia, she could only barely reach the other’s waist.
Selina puffed out her pink cheeks, looking like an angry little squirrel.
As the saying goes, the more a dragon lacks something, the more she likes to talk about it.
Due to the dim night and the rain soaking the girl’s hair, covering most of her face.
Even the “extremely clever” Selina-sama didn’t recognize Youfei’s identity.
But that didn’t stop her from putting her hands on her hips and lecturing like an adult.
“Hey, little girl, do you know what time it is?”
“There are a lot of bad people outside who love to abduct little girls like you who don’t go home!”
“If you sneak out to play again, you might get caught by a bad guy!”
“I don’t have a home anymore.”
“My family is already dead.”
‘Crap. That killed the conversation.’
‘So she’s an orphan without any relatives.’
Hearing this, Selina felt a surge of guilt.
‘No!’
‘Selina, you’re a mature adult!’
‘I absolutely cannot abandon this poor child!’
So, watching Youfei’s back as she turned to leave with a gloomy face.
The little silver dragon stood on tiptoe and grabbed the girl’s fair hand.
“Idiot, gett… getting caught in the rain will make you sick.”
“Since you have nowhere to go, why don’t you come with me to the shopping street ahead?”
“Tonight, everything is on Selina-sama!”
“Let’s forget all our troubles and have a great time for the night!”
“I…”
Youfei looked at the girl in front of her, smiling brightly.
That faint smile, like a lily after the rain, filled her golden eyes.
The words of refusal she had prepared were suddenly unable to leave her mouth.
‘If… only for tonight. Then I’ll allow myself to indulge.’
Her heart was still struggling.
But her body had already honestly been pulled forward by this little silver dragon who only reached her waist.
“Ah, how about you hold the umbrella?”
“I… I can’t quite reach you.”
Looking at the clumsy little silver dragon in front of her.
Youfei felt a warmth surge in her heart for some reason.
She gently took out a cloak and covered the girl’s beautiful little horns and her strikingly conspicuous dragon tail.
“Yeah, okay.”
‘What an idiot.’
‘Such a large silver dragon dared to walk towards the brightly lit shopping street without any disguise.’
‘One must know. Although the Papal State was open to all races on the surface except for certain important areas, human nature was ultimately greedy.’
‘Without enough strength, which non-human race would dare to walk so blatantly on the streets of the royal capital?’
‘Moreover, she was the rarest silver dragon among the dragon race. Her value was enough to make bounty hunters, blinded by money and fame, risk violating the laws of the Papal State.’
‘But it didn’t matter. Since this little silver dragon had survived safely until now, she probably had some basic common sense. Plus, this time, she had protection by her side. As long as they avoided the taverns where adventurers gathered the most, they wouldn’t be exposed.’
“Hey, let’s go to that tavern up ahead!”
“It must be fun there!”
